1Unless otherwise specified, or the purposes of 

this document, ‘‘biometrics’’ refers to fingerprints 

and/or facial imagery. 

The earliest implementation date for 

the new credential is March 1, 2024. We 

will notify the industry via the NMC 

website if the date changes due to 

unforeseen issues. The current passportstyle MMC will not be immediately 

replaced for all mariners. Instead, the 

new credential will be issued during 

their next credential transaction. 

Mariners should not request a new 

MMC unless their current one is lost, 

damaged, or nearing expiration. 

In the future, the Coast Guard intends 

to implement an electronically issued 

MMC that meets domestic and 

international requirements. In addition 

to the electronic credential, the Coast 

Guard anticipates maintaining some 

printing options to support the mariners 

and maritime industry needs. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of title 46 of the United States Code 

(U.S.C.), sections 2104, 7101, and 7302.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Transportation Security Administration 

[Docket No. TSA–2014–001] 

Intent To Request Revision From OMB 

of One Current Public Collection of 

Information: TSA PreCheckTM

Application Program 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: 60-Day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) invites public 

comment on one currently approved 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number 1652–0059, 

abstracted below that we will submit to 

OMB for a revision in compliance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). 

This ICR is being revised to inform the 

public of the official launch of new TSA 

PreCheckTM enrollment providers, 

which has led to multiple price points 

for enrollments and renewals and 

additional enrollment locations; 

exploration of new enrollment 

capabilities to include remotely 

proctored enrollment; acceptance of 

Mobile Drivers Licenses and other 

Digital Identities upon TSA approval; 

and, revised customer experience 

surveys to better service the public. The 

ICR describes the nature of the 

information collection and its expected 

burden. The collection involves the 

voluntary submission of biographic and 

biometric information that TSA uses to 

verify identity and conduct a security 

threat assessment (STA) for the TSA 

PreCheckTM Application Program. The 

STA compares an applicant’s 

information against criminal history, 

immigration, intelligence, and 

regulatory violations databases to 

determine if the person poses a low risk 

to transportation or national security 

and should be eligible for expedited 

screening through TSA PreCheckTM

lanes at airports. 

DATES: Send your comments by April 

22, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed 

to TSAPRA@tsa.dhs.gov or delivered to 

the TSA PRA Officer, Information 

Technology (IT), TSA–11, 

Transportation Security Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number. The ICR documentation will be 

available at https://www.reginfo.gov 

upon its submission to OMB. Therefore, 

in preparation for OMB review and 

approval of the following information 

collection, TSA is soliciting comments 

to— 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement is necessary for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. Consistent with 

the requirements of Executive Order 

(E.O.) 13771, Reducing Regulation and 

Controlling Regulatory Costs, and E.O. 

13777, Enforcing the Regulatory Reform 

Agenda, TSA is also requesting 

comments on the extent to which this 

request for information could be 

modified to reduce the burden on 

respondents. 

Information Collection Requirement 

Pursuant to the statutory authorities 

explained below, TSA has implemented 

a voluntary enrollment program for 

individuals to apply for the TSA 

PreCheckTM Application Program. 

Section 109(a)(3) of the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act, Public Law 

107–71 (115 Stat. 597, 613, Nov. 19, 

2001, codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 note) 

provides TSA with the authority to 

‘‘establish requirements to implement 

trusted programs and use available 

technologies to expedite security 

screening of passengers who participate 

in such programs, thereby allowing 

security screening personnel to focus on 

those passengers who should be subject 

to more extensive screening.’’ In 

addition, TSA has express, statutory 

authority to establish and collect a fee 

for any registered traveler program by 

publication of a notice in the Federal 

Register as outlined in the Department 

of Homeland Security Appropriations 

Act, 2006, Public Law 109–90 (119 Stat. 

2064, 2088–89, Oct. 18, 2005). 

Security Threat Assessment Process 

Under the TSA PreCheckTM

Application Program, individuals may 

submit biographic and biometric 1

information directly to TSA, which TSA 

uses to conduct identity verification and 

an STA of criminal, immigration, 

intelligence, and regulatory violation 

databases. Interested applicants must 

provide certain minimum required data 

elements, including, but not limited to, 

name, date of birth, gender, address, 

contact information, country of birth, 

images of identity documents, proof of 

citizenship or immigration status, and 

biometrics via a secure interface. TSA 

uses this information to verify identity 

at enrollment, conduct an STA, make a 

final eligibility determination for the 

TSA PreCheckTM Application Program, 

and verify the identities of TSA 

PreCheckTM-enrolled and approved 

individuals when they are traveling. 

As part of this process, TSA sends the 

applicants’ fingerprints and associated 

information to the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation (FBI) for the purpose of 

comparing their fingerprints to other 

fingerprints in the FBI’s Next 

Generation Identification (NGI) system 

or its successor systems including civil, 

criminal, and latent fingerprint 

repositories. The FBI may retain

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 36 / Thursday, February 22, 2024 / Notices 13357 

2The FBI’s Rap Back service allows authorized 

agencies to receive on-going status notifications of 

any criminal history reported to the FBI after the 

initial processing and retention of criminal or civil 

transactions using fingerprint identification. 

3Passengers who are eligible for expedited 

screening typically will receive more limited 

physical screening; e.g., will be able to leave on 

their shoes, light outerwear, and belt; to keep their 

laptop in its case; and to keep their ‘‘3–1–1’’ 

compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on. 

4Remote Proctored Enrollment refers to 

enrollments conducted in-person by the applicant 

and monitored remotely by a trusted agent via realtime video stream. The remote trusted agent 

maintains the integrity of the enrollment by 

monitoring the entire process from start-to-finish 

including the collection of identity documents and 

the traditional capture of contact fingerprints. 

applicants’ fingerprints and associated 

information in NGI after the completion 

of their application and, while retained, 

their fingerprints may continue to be 

compared against other fingerprints 

submitted to or retained by NGI as part 

of the FBI’s Rap Back program.2 In 

retaining applicants’ fingerprints, the 

FBI conducts recurrent vetting of 

applicants’ criminal history until the 

expiration date of the applicant’s STA. 

TSA also transmits applicants’ 

biometrics for enrollment into the 

Department of Homeland Security 

Automated Biometrics Identification 

System and its successor systems for 

recurrent vetting of applicants’ criminal 

history, lawful presence, and ties to 

terrorism and for future support of 

TSA’s biometric-based identification at 

airport checkpoints. 

TSA uses the STA results to decide if 

an individual poses a low risk to 

transportation or national security. TSA 

issues approved applicants a known 

traveler number (KTN) that they may 

use when making travel reservations. 

Airline passengers who submit a KTN 

when making airline reservations are 

eligible for expedited screening on 

flights originating from U.S. airports and 

select international locations including 

Nassau, Bahamas.3 TSA uses the 

traveler’s KTN and other information 

during passenger prescreening to verify 

that the individual traveling matches 

the information on TSA’s list of known 

travelers and to confirm TSA 

PreCheckTM expedited screening 

eligibility. 

When the STA is complete, TSA 

makes a final determination on 

eligibility for the TSA PreCheckTM

Application Program and notifies 

applicants of its decision. Most 

applicants generally should expect to 

receive notification from TSA within 3 

to 5 days and up to 60 days of the 

submission of their completed 

applications. If initially deemed 

ineligible by TSA, applicants will have 

an opportunity to correct cases of 

misidentification or inaccurate criminal 

records. Applicants must submit a 

correction of any information they 

believe to be inaccurate within 60 days 

of issuance of TSA’s letter. If a corrected 

record is not received by TSA within 

the specified amount of time, the agency 

may make a final determination to deny 

eligibility. Individuals who TSA 

determines are ineligible for the TSA 

PreCheckTM Application Program will 

undergo standard or other screening at 

airport security checkpoints. 

TSA PreCheckTM Enrollment and 

Renewal Enhancements 

The introduction of additional 

enrollment providers, as discussed in 

the previous ICR revision, will allow 

enrollment providers to offer multiple 

price points for TSA PreCheckTM

enrollment and renewal as well as 

additional enrollment locations, which 

will allow the public to select the best 

option for their needs. TSA plans to 

explore 4 new enrollment capabilities to 

include remote proctored enrollment to 

further expand TSA’s ability to service 

the public. This revision also addresses 

TSA’s plan to accept Mobile Drivers 

Licenses and other Digital Identities for 

identity verification at enrollment upon 

TSA approval. Lastly, TSA intends to 

continue to collect information from 

TSA PreCheckTM members after 

enrollment through voluntary customer 

experience surveys to better serve the 

public. 

* * * * * 

The TSA PreCheckTM Application 

Program enhances aviation security by 

permitting TSA to better focus its 

limited security resources on passengers 

who are unknown to TSA and whose 

level of risk is undetermined, while also 

facilitating and improving the 

commercial aviation travel experience 

for the public. Travelers who choose not 

to enroll in this initiative are not subject 

to any limitations on their travel 

because of their choice; they will be 

processed through normal TSA 

screening before entering the sterile 

areas of airports. TSA also retains the 

authority to perform standard or other 

screening on a random basis on TSA 

PreCheckTM Application Program 

participants and any other travelers 

authorized to receive expedited physical 

screening. 

TSA estimates that there will be an 

average of 4,948,845 respondents over a 

3-year period, for a total of 14,871,740 

respondents. This estimate is based on 

current and projected enrollments with 

TSA’s existing program. TSA estimates 

that there will be an average annual 

hour burden of 5,031,067 hours over a 

3-year projection, for a total of 

15,093,202 hours. TSA estimates an 

average of 1.015 hours per respondent to 

complete the enrollment process, which 

includes time to fill out the enrollment 

or renewal application, round trip travel 

time to an enrollment center (as 

needed), providing biographic and 

biometric information to TSA (via an 

enrollment center or pre-enrollment 

options), the time burden for any 

records correction for the applicant, and 

time for surveys. The applicant fee per 

respondent for those who apply for the 

program directly with TSA will average 

$80 for initial enrollments, $70 for 

online renewals, and $75 for in-person 

renewals, which covers TSA’s program 

costs, TSA’s enrollment vendor’s costs, 

and the FBI fee for the criminal history 

records check.
